Vazhappully Shree Rajarajeshwari Temple

Vazhappully Shree Rajarajeshwari Temple is among the first and foremost family temples in Kerala which dates back to more than 500 years. This temple is situated towards the west of Edamuttom in Thrissur District, Kerala State. Due to the presence of the supreme soul of Goddess Bhadrakali, in olden days devotees sacrificed chicken and goat to this temple as offerings. Later in the Malayalam Year 1122 Edavam month (1947, May) a beautiful Panchaloha idol of Sri Rajarajeswari was reinstalled as the main deity by Sri. Narasimha Swamigal, the first disciple of Sri Narayana Guru.

Rajarajeshwari – prominently known as Goddess Lalita, is considered as the Hindu Goddess of beauty and enjoyment. She comes in the third position among the Dasha Mahavidyas and also known by the names Tripurasundari and Shodashi.

Goddess Rajarajeswari is having the amalgamate powers of Goddess Mahalakshmi, Goddess Saraswati, Goddess Parvathi and Goddess Bhadrakali.

Miracle in the Temple:

It was predicted by Sri. Narasimha Swamigal that this transformation from the Bhadrakali Goddess to the Rajarajeswari Goddess (from a fierce form to humility) can show unusual changes in nature at the time of reinstatement. Surprisingly, during the relocation of the idol in May 1947, the trunk of a huge tree Mimusops Elengi on the south side of the temple was split in two and fell showing the powers of the goddess Rajarajeswari. It was one of the extraordinary “miracles” that our ancestors and elders witnessed. Although the idol is of the goddess Sri Rajarajeshwari, the basic mantra is of the goddess Bhadrakali.

Devotees are blessed with prosperity, wealth, and bestowal blessings.The goddess Rajarajeswari is considered the protector of this region. All devotees, regardless of their nationality, caste, creed and religion are welcome in this temple to fulfill their wish.
